A fake PhD worked for Myanmar Engineering Council!

Your blogger has been informed that a fake PhD has conned Myanmar Engineering Council (a guild for technologists in Burma). That U Tin Tun has lectured Continuing Professional Development courses at Rangoon Institute of Technology for years. He was in board for qualifying Professional Engineers. What an ironic twist!

Your blogger want to introduce self-doctored "U Tin Tun" to a new resident of this shame.

PUTRAJAYA: 
'In the wake of motivational speaker Azizan Osman’s allegedly fraudulent
appropriation of ‘doctor of philosophy’ (PhD) credentials, the Higher Education
Ministry is mooting guidelines to prevent the misuse of academic titles such as
‘Dr’. "We are in the midst of discussions with several universities on the matter,
and will come up with guidelines in two months’ time,” said its minister, Datuk
Seri Idris Jusoh. "First, we have to clearly define (what constitutes as) misuse
of the PhD title, and whether the action can be criminalised,” ...


... Azizan’s putative PhD credentials when Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti 
Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Infrastructure University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL) ...'

The more not always merrier!!

There is a cliche in English, "The more the merrier!". Well, that is not
always true! Your blogger has been volunteering and shouldering this
responsibility of exposing fake doctorates who are Burmese origin or
who will have something to do with Burma. Whenever a plagiarist like
Maung Zarni or a fake like Nay Zin Latt is exposed, a part of blogger's
soul is chipped away. Not that he is fond of that Maung Zarni who is
now rumored to be a sell-out lobby, an online whore, for alien illegal
trespassers, but the fact that Zarni is the son of Burmese parents. For
that reason, this blogger really hates what he is doing but he has to
do what has to be done.

Under those circumstances, it is a pain to see more fake Burmese
who are to be named and shamed for they have fake PhDs.

Let me painfully introduce newest residents of this hall of shame for
they all have bought PhD degrees from a diploma mill, the New Age
International University [1]:

Dr. Kyaw Thu Zaw
Dr. Zeyan Nyunt Win Maung
Dr. Aung Aung
Dr. Aung Myint Maw
Dr. (Ms.) Khim Hninn Aye
Dr. Zaw Min Sein
Dr. Kyaw Win
Dr. Toe Aung
Dr. (Ms.) Sabe Pyu Lwin
Dr. Sit Aung Latt
Dr. Ashin Teikkha
Dr. Ye’ htay@Lwin Htay
Dr. Maung Htwe

Quote below is about that the New Age University, a diploma mill [2]:

'The New Age International University is a diploma mill with an address
in Seborga, a small town in the region of Liguria in northwest Italy, Europe.
Its website states that it is licensed by the Department of Education of the
Principality of Seborga, a micronation located within Liguria. However,
it is not recognised as an accredited university within Italy or other European
countries. Admissions, licensing and certification are controlled by the Institute
of Education, Research & Development, Kolkata, India.

The university offers diploma, post graduate diploma, bachelor's degree, master's
degree and doctorate. It also awards honorary doctorates for the same fee of
Rs 48,550.

Institutions affiliated to the New Age International University and the Institute of
Education, Research & Development in Kolkata include the Holy Angels College of Alternative Medicines and the Indian Board of Alternative Medicines in Mumbai.'

Surprise!! There were six diploma mills in Singapore!

This blogger is surprised to learn that squeaky clean city state where Burmese youth head for higher education has had diploma mills. Below is extraction from an old news article:

'The American state of Oregon has strict laws regarding the use of academic qualifications, which include requiring that a person’s business cards, CV and letterhead declare if his degree is from an unaccredited university. Oregon’s degree mill watch-list is one of the most comprehensive compiled by a government body in the United States. It has named six institutions in Singapore as offering unaccredited qualifications: Cranston University, Templeton University, Trident University of Technology, Vancouver University Worldwide, Westmore University and Lee Community College.'
